New York, NY (LifeNews.com) — A top pro-life group that focuses on international issues is condemning a recent meeting of some of the richest people in the world. The groups of billionaires met secretly in New York and agreed to promote population control as their collective charitable cause in the coming years.

Prompted by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, they adopted reducing the world’s population as the main issue to put their money behind.

Austin Ruse, the president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, is upset by the meeting.

“These fabulously wealthy people with their grand houses, private jets, yachts and lavish lifestyles decided to pool their massive resources and declare war on the world’s poor by spending billions of dollars on population control,” he said in an email LifeNews.com received.

Ruse said he wasn’t surprised that the participants are targeting the world with population control, which will involve promoting abortion.

“Ted Turner is a long time supporter of forcing poor countries to support abortion and population control. David Rockefeller is one of the founders of the modern population control movement and through his Rockefeller Foundation has paid billions for it,” he explained.

Ruse said the billionaires are apparently not aware of the severe underpopulation problem that is currently plaguing the world.

Nations like Japan, Russia, Canada and parts of Europe are facing severe population shortages that are resulting in fewer workers and little economic and social support for an aging population.

He questioned “whether these guys have gotten the news that the big population problem in the world today is not rapidly growing populations but rather the ‘graying of the population’ precisely because of UN style population control programs.”

He said the United Nations will likely work together with the pro-abortion billionaires, “as there is renewed spending on these issues and that the UN is back into the population control business.”

“The UN and the billionaire boys club will not stop. They will not stop until abortion is the law of the world. They will not stop until they have imposed population control on every single man, woman and child in the world,” Ruse said in the email to LifeNews.com.

He called on pro-life advocates in nations across the world to be aware of the situation and the coming attacks the billionaires will fund.

“We cannot allow David Rockefeller, George Soros and Ted Turner along with the UN to target poor counties. We cannot allow them to spread abortion around the world,” he said.
